Nate Stanley to return for senior year
- Thread starter Knownothing
- Start date
He didn't have to stay for his senior year and cost himself millions of dollars to get his degree. Lol
Never said they did, my original post was about players that had decisions to make regarding the draft.
Well that's a problem for ISU than too. Montgomery, Butler, Bailey, Spears and Lima this year, Peavy last year, Lazard the year before, etc
Will they play Epenesa more next year? If they up his plays by say 50%, that could make him less effective on his third down pass rushes. I wounder what they will do.
I actually like what they did with him this year. He was in on obvious passing downs along with his rotation snaps. He was definitely fresh and a beast in the pass rush. Obviously he'll be on the field more next year...Hesse is gone and if Nelson leaves early he'll be out there a ton....if Nelson comes back I'd see a Golston/Nelson/AJ rotation at DE but regardless...he'll get more snaps.
Some folks are arguing he should be out there every snap but that ends up being counter productive in the 4th Qtr in todays game. In 2010 Binns, Clayborn etc were out there way too much and really wore down.. I think Parker has made a concerted effort to develop a rotation to keep guys fresh. Pretty standard nowadays...we'll see.
Lol, it only took 3 years for Iowa's best defensive recruit of the Ferentz era to crack the starting lineup.
AJ got plenty of snaps...enough to get him on the All B1G 1st team by the media and second team from the coaches.
But wasn't good enough to start? Typical Ferentz, refuses to play the better players.
Yep, Hesse was still rock solid as always and Epenesa would come in for obvious pass rushing downs and play entire other series when Hesse needed a breather.
